It blends New York society intrigue with Egyptian archaeology and a hint of the supernatural. The story centers on Barry Cumberland, a wealthy collector’s son haunted by a mysterious, priestess-like woman and drawn into an expedition proposed by the imposing dealer Danbazzar, whose papyrus hints at a princess preserved alive across millennia. Expect romance, occult science, and a transatlantic chase that links a modern mystery to pharaonic secrets. The opening of the story follows Barry racing through a mountain storm, glimpsing an Egyptian-looking woman on a balcony moments before crashing his car, then awakening in a hospital with a nameless rescuer and no way to trace the site. He finds the secluded house but meets only a hostile caretaker and shuttered windows, later spotting the same woman from afar in a walled garden, again behind a veil in a passing limousine, and possibly once more at a pier. Meanwhile, Barry’s father entertains Danbazzar, who unveils a unique papyrus about Princess Zalithea, a captive allegedly placed into suspended life in Seti’s time; experts authenticate the document while debating its claims, and Danbazzar reveals he has located the unopened tomb and a related formula. John Cumberland agrees to fund an excavation up the Nile, and as plans form, Barry prepares to depart—still compelled by the elusive woman whose appearances bookend the beginning.
